The COP26 which ends in Glasgow was an opportunity to take stock of the electrification strategy of the main car manufacturers who are more or less in a hurry to switch to 100% electric ranges.
About thirty countries and several manufacturers automobiles pledged on Wednesday at COP26 in Glasgow to “work” to ensure that by 2040 all new cars sold are zero emission. A number of manufacturers had, however, already made a radical commitment to the electric shift, by promising to do away with gasoline engines. combustion of their range sometimes as early as 2030, or to gradually reduce their share in their production. Here are their calendars.
